Lean Honey Raisin Muffins

Honey muffins according to this recipe are prepared without butter, eggs and milk. If I hadn’t cooked them myself, I would never have believed that muffins are lean, and you need a minimum of the simplest ingredients to make them! The muffins are very, very tasty, soft, well rise. An additive to the dough is raisins, which can be replaced or supplemented with pieces of dried apricots or prunes.
